State of Minnesota v. Willie Coagar Skylark
ORDER ON PETITION FOR FURTHER REVIEW
Issue:
Petitioner Skylark requests that this Court review the July 3, 2023 Court of Appeals' unpublished decision affirming his conviction in the Ramsey County District Court, the Hon. David Brown, presiding, for fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct (sexual contact - no force or coercion), based on its rejection of Skylark's argument that the unobjected-to prosecution closing-argument that Skylark victim-shamed the complainant by testifying she was on multiple dating websites, and to her screen-name, which Skylark argued was misconduct constituting plain error and requiring a new trial.
